This past weekend we attended the wedding of Kevin and Kelly's daughter in Milwaukee. They got married at one of the most beautiful churches I've ever seen at Marquette University. The stained glass windows were outstanding.
The reception was held at the Boerner Botanic Gardens in Hales Corners. They had arranged for buses to carry the reception party from the Wyndham Hotel by the airport to the reception, but, unfortunately, we missed it and had to take a cab.
We missed the cocktail hour and got there just in time for the meal and had some of the best lamb I've ever eaten. Kevin and Kelly are Irish, and everyone had a coffee mug, mini bottle of Jamison Irish Whiskey and the ingredients and recipe for Irish Coffee. Nice touch.
The reason we had the buses was to enjoy ourselves. And that we did. I made up for missing the cocktail hour with a steady stream of Crown Royals and soda. I had found Crown Royal as being a very popular drink earflier this year when we were in Panama City. There was also a 12 member band with a six-piece horn section called The Mr. Lucky Syndicate that played great Big Band Tunes to Blues Brothers.
Best of all, at the end, we didn't have to drive back to the hotel. The buses took us.
